Landscape is at the core of all his work.

Rupert studied at The Bartlett School of Architecture but spent most of his time at the Slade School of Fine Art. 

With the analytical knowledge of a landscape architect and the practical hands of a gardener, Rupert Muldoon is truly immersed within his surroundings. The act of painting expresses his emotional involvement to the subject. 

Muldoon has spent some years inventing his own method of painting in egg tempera, often working on a large scale. Pigments and gessoed panels are prepared by himself. The recent series of water paintings have become more abstract and suggestive as a response to the river which Muldoon walks each day.

The work captures the fast changing light at either end of the day. The landscape becoming low lit and back lit, creating long shadows. Sometimes melancholic and sometimes uplifting. Colour reduces to tonal variations, and the scene suggestive of undercurrents.

Rupert has been hailed as a contemporary painter to watch, with works held in the Maggie’s Centre art collection.
